Comfort Controls
With this system, you can control the
heating and ventilation
in your Chevrolet.
If you have the air conditioning option,
you can also control cooling.
Your vehicle also has the flow-through
ventilation system described later
in this
section.
Heater Controls
Fan Control Knob
# : Turn this knob to select the force of
air you want.
. . ,108
Temperature Control Knob
Turn the knob to change the temperature
of the air flowing from the heating
system. Turn
it to the right for warmer air
and to the left for cooler air. The
temperature
of the air can not be less than
the temperature
of the outside air.
Air Control Knob
OFF: The system is off.
3 : Air flows through the upper air
vents.
*d : Air is directed through the upper air
vents and the heater ducts.
*A : This setting directs most of the air
through the heater ducts and some of the
air through the windshield defroster vents.
39 : Air is directed through the
windshield defroster vents and the heater
ducts.

Air Conditioner Controls (OPTION)
The air conditioning system uses the
same controls as the heating system,
except that the air control knob has two
extra settings, described below. For an
explanation of all
the controls, see
“Heater Controls” earlier
in this part.
MAX: Provides maximum cooling or
quick cool-down
on very hot days. This
setting recirculates most
of the air inside
your vehicle. If
it is used for long periods
of time, the air may become dry. This
setting directs
air through the upper air
vents.
. . ,110
A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot days.
This setting cools outside air and directs
it through the upper air vents,
The air conditioner compressor operates
in “MAX,” “A/C” and in qd , *% and
9 when the outside temperature is
above freezing. When the air conditioner
is on, you
may sometimes notice slight
changes
in your vehicle’s engine speed
and power. This is normal because
the system
is designed to cycle the
compressor on and off to keep the
desired cooling
and help fuel economy.
Cooling
The air conditioner works best if you keep
your windows closed. On very hot
days,
open the windows just long enough for
the hot air to escape.
1. Turn the air control knob to “A/C” for
normal cooling. For faster cooling
move the knob to
“MAX.”
2. Turn the temperature control knob to
a comfortable setting.
3. Turn the fan control knob to the right.

Rear Window Defogger (opnoN)
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the rear
window.
Press the right side of the switch to turn
on the defogger. An indicator light will
come on to remind you that the defogger
is on. The defogger will turn off
automatically after about ten minutes of
use. If you turn it on again, the defogger
will operate for about five minutes only.
You can also
turn the defogger off by
pressing the left side
of the switch.
Do not attach anything like a temporary
vehicle license or a decal across
the
defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or something
else sharp on the inside of the rear
window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.

spin.
A cornering skid is best handled by
easing your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
If you have the ASR system, remember: It
helps avoid only the acceleration skid. If
you do not have traction control, or
if the
system is
off, then an acceleration skid is
also best handled by easing your foot
off
the accelerator pedal.
If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your
foot
off the accelerator pedal and quickly
steer the way you want the vehicle to go.
If you start steering quickly enough, your
vehicle may straighten out. Always be
ready for a second skid if it occurs.
Of course, traction is reduced when water,
snow, ice, gravel, or other material is on
the road. For safety, you’ll want to slow
down and adjust your driving
to these
conditions. It is important to slow down
on slippery surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle
control more limited. While
driving on a surface with reduced
traction, try
your best to avoid sudden
steering, acceleration,
or braking
(including engine bralung by shifting to a
lower gear). Any sudden changes could
cause the tires to slide. You may not
realize the surface is slippery until your
vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize
warning clues
- such as enough water,
ice or packed snow on the road to make
a .“mirrored surface”
- and slow down
when you have any doubt.
Remember: Any anti-lock braking system
(ABS) helps avoid only the braking skid.

Driving at Night
\Tight driving is more dangerous than day
hiving. One reason is that some drivers
tre likely to be impaired
- by alcohol or
lrugs, with night vision problems, or by
atigue.
lere
are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Don’t drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to
reduce the glare from headlights
behind you.
Since you can’t see as well, you may
need to slow down and keep more
space between
you and other vehicles.

NOTICE:
If your engine catches fire because
you keep driving with
no coolant,
your vehicle can be badly damaged.
The costly repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
If No Steam Is Coming from Your
Engine:
If you get the overheat warning but see or
hear no steam, the problem may not be
too serious. Sometimes
the engine can gel
a little too hot when you:
0 Climb a long hill on a hot day.
0 Stop after high speed driving.
0 Idle for long periods in traffic.
Tow a trailer.
If you get
the overheat warning with no
sign of steam,
try this for a minute or so:
1. If you have an air conditioner, turn it
2. Turn on your heater to full hot at the
off.

the
window as necessary.
3. Tr!
to keep your engine under load
(in a drive gear where the engine runs
slower).
[f you no longer have the overheat
warning, you can drive. Just to be safe,
drive slower for about ten minutes. If the
warning doesn’t come back on,
you can
drive normally.
[f the warning continues, pull over, stop,
and park your vehicle right away.
If there’s still no sign of steam, you can
idle the engine for two or three minutes
while you’re parked, to see if the warning
stops. But
then, if you still have the
warning, TURN
OFF THE ENGINE
AND GET EVERYONE
OUT OF THE
VEHICLE until it cools down.
You may decide not to lift the hood but to
get service help right away.

When you decide it’s safe to lift the hood,
here’s what you’ll see on the
V6 engine:

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Check Brake Fluid:
You can check the brake fluid without
taking off the cap. Just look at the brake
fluid reservoir. The fluid level should be
above the plastic seam
in the reservoir.
If it isn’t, have your brake system
checked to see
if there is a leak.
After work is done on the brake hydraulic
system, make sure the level
is above the
plastic seam, near the base of the filler
neck.
What to Add:
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3 brake fluid
- such as Delco-
Supreme 1 l@ (GM Part No. 1052535).
Use new brake fluid from a sealed container
only, and always clean the brakt
fluid reservoir cap before removing it.
NOTICE:
0 Don’t let someone put in the
wrong kind
of fluid. For example,
just a few drops
of mineral-based
oil, such as engine oil, in your
brake system can damage brake
system parts
so badly that they’ll
have to be replaced.
0 Brake fluid can damage paint, so
be careful not to spill brake fluid
on your vehicle.
If you do, wash it
off immediately. See ”Appearance
Care”
in the Index.
Brake Wear
Unless you have the four-wheel disc
brake option, your Chevrolet has front
disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear
indicators that make
a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads are
worn and new pads are needed. The
sound may come and go or be heard all
the time your vehicle is moving (except when
you are
pushing on the brake pedal
firmly).
A CAUTION:
The brake wear warning sound
means that sooner or later your
brakes won’t work well. That could
lead to an accident. When you hear
the brake wear warning sound, have
your vehicle serviced.
NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out
brake pads could result in costly
brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may
cause
a brake squeal when the brakes are
first applied or lightly applied. This does
not mean something is wrong
with your
brakes.
